Kiji

Kiji, located on rue Gaillon near the Opéra, is a Japanese tea room with an authentic, Zen atmosphere in the heart of Paris. This unique place offers a variety of matcha-based specialties, such as traditional Japanese pastries (like dorayaki or mochi) and finely selected teas. Kiji's originality lies in the art of marrying authentic Japanese flavors with meticulous presentation, while highlighting the subtlety of matcha in each creation.

The atmosphere at Kiji is calm and soothing, with a minimalist decor reminiscent of traditional Japanese tea rooms: light wood, clean lines and an atmosphere conducive to relaxation. The clientele, made up of lovers of fine teas and curious locals, come here to enjoy a refined break after a day's shopping or work in this dynamic district.

Ideally located just a few steps from the Opéra, Kiji is the perfect place for a light lunch or mid-afternoon snack. Prices are reasonable for the quality of the products, with teas from 5€ and pastries around 6€. For the best experience, the afternoon is the ideal time to enjoy a hot drink accompanied by a Japanese sweet, while soaking up the lounge's soothing atmosphere.
